I promise not to get any more meals at Sonic for the rest of the month, and halfway into July. Just because I work there doesn’t mean I should eat there after I get off.
I promise to cut down on my junk food intake.
I promise to cut down on my soda intake.
I promise to eat more salad.

Today was actually a good day, towards the end.
I woke up 8am, for no reason and felt just insanely sad. What the hell. I did some planning and organising and forced myself to nap for 2 hours to get rid of my groggy headache. I chucked on an in season outfit I was trying for the first time and it turned out great. I went to my first chiropractic appointment ever and I have to say I’m quite impressed. Firstly the reception and staff were sooo nice. We did an assessment and took some x-rays and all of the areas I have pain in were spot on identified. The pain I have in my lower back, ribs and neck are from misaligned vertebrate and fluid and stuff. Apparently one that’s twisted may even have contributed to my sinus problems. It’s all so fascinating. I have to go back tomorrow to sort out treatment and stuff.
I also have an exam tomorrow. Need to study yet. I’m hungry and freezing. My boyfriend is complaining about how shit his day was because he didn’t get to play COD, because it was too much effort to move the console to the other tv and change the settings. I’m just like…. seriously? I had to go get my deformed spine checked out at a chiropractor today, I mention I went to the chiropractor and you didn’t even ask how it went, because complaining that you didn’t get to play video games was more serious. Wow. Now we’re talking about his insurance that this company isn’t paying him from his car crash, which is actually quite serious so I don’t really think video games were the real problem. It’d be nice to actually have someone care about how my day went though, and he should know better than anyone how serious of a problem my health is to me. Ah well, doesn’t matter.

The following is my rendition of the Dalai Lama’s explanation of being fully healthy.
In order to be ultimately healthy, it starts with the mind. We must be strong in our minds and be able to control ourselves when the most extraneous of circumstances occur or even the slightest at the very least. Once we’ve reached that stage, nothing is impossible.
If our mind is at its full capacity health wise, our body will respond. Conversely, if our mind is unhealthy, our body will be unhealthy. If our minds are strong, our bodies will be strong.
Nothing will get in your way once your mind is cleared and at its full potential. I’ve seen this everyday. When students and teachers are stressed, they become sick, tired and just plain old sick and tired. Only you know your body, and you must know the signs of stress or mental ailments before you can fix your own problem.
I’ve played sports all my life, and when my mind isn’t positive or being productive, my body is done for, there is no other way to fix it other than starting back with the mind.
Be aware, learn from your body, and love it for it is truly your temple.
I don’t understand. I don’t understand why people are so afraid of food.
Recent internet trawling of a procrastinator-y nature has brought to my attention the MYRIAD of obsessive weight-loss programs out there that are entirely, in my opinion, too focused on casting FOOD as the enemy.
Food is not the enemy.
If you have a weight problem, (or even, for some people, weight at all!), you should not be typecasting such an essential, and wonderful, part of life, but instead, tackling the problem in yourself. Chances are, if you’re unhappy with your weight, you should be focussing on the part of yourself that is creating the problem, whether that might be a tendency to over-indulge, or a complete lack of exercise in your routine.
I know, it’s easier to blame others. It’s easier to blame McDonald’s and KFC, and that gorgeous butter cake that your great-aunt Mildred makes that you can never resist, but if you don’t tackle the deep-seated issue underlying, even if you do manage to, probably painfully, increase/decrease your weight to a desired number, it will just fly up/down again (depending on where your problem lies).
Chances are, it’s in your head, or in your attitude.
Also, on the other hand, to avoid type-casting, there are equally many sites that encourage their audiences to just gorge yourselves on these horribly decadent meals that are enough to turn your stomach. That is just sick. Sites like This is Why You’re Fat and EpicMealTimes on Youtube aren’t combating the influx of negative food stereotypes that come from these crazed “Get Fit! Get Healthy! Get Thin!” schemes.
Rather, they’re just advocating the problems balancing on the other end of the spectrum.
Just as obsessive avoidance of meals is unhealthy, so is binging.
Eat balanced meals. Eat healthy meals, with nutritionally balanced portions. Eat salads. Eat meat. Eat ice cream. Eat chocolate. Just don’t eat too much or too little of any of them.
And for heaven’s sake, if you need it, just jump on the treadmill and stop blaming food.
How do you know if you have a eating disorder? This site gives a handy list of symptoms. If you have an obsession with avoiding meals or binging, SPEAK to someone about it. Or, if you’re uncomfortable, there are resources out there with your doctor, or just at home, online. Do a quick internet browse!
Stop victimising yourselves.
Note: If you have special nutritional requirements, please PLEASE PLEASE disregard this tirade completely. Listen to your doctor. They know better.

Israel saves a man from Zanzibar’s life not once but TWICE. G-d bless Israel and Save a Child’s Heart, an Israeli non-profit organization that brings children with heart disorders to Israel for costly, innovative, and efficient heart surgery and treatment for free. A majority of the children that benefit from Save a Child’s Heart are from Muslim and Arab nations including those from Gaza, Judea, and Samaria.
